Regarding Ikimi’s bid for the Chairmanship of
the Party. It was clear to practically everyone
who had the interest of the party at heart that
we simply could not have a man of Tom Ikimi’s
antecedents as Chair of the party. As chairman
of the NRC, one of the only two political parties
in the country under the military transition
programme, Tom Ikimi not only connived with the
then military regime to annul the elections,
terminate the democratic process and sell off his
party. He became Abacha’s foreign minister,
convincing the world that heinous state murders
like the hanging of Ken Saro Wiwa were just
acts! If Ikimi were the Chair of APC the party
would have to sleep with both eyes open lest its
chairman sell off the party before day break .

homesteady: here is what Tinubu said in his letter to Ikimi -


I'm focusing on the bolded!
Ikimi's is now branded as a bad man just because he 'only connived' with the military to annul the 'democratic process of election'
Then how should we brand Gen Buhari who was the chief in charge of the termination of the democratic process of election which made Shagari President?

Tinibu has indirectly called buhari a bad person!

Obiagelli:
go and read history of the coup that ousted Shagari, they you will know the active players. That he became HOS does not mean he planned the coup

Obiagelli:
go and read history of the coup that ousted Shagari, they you will know the active players. That he became HOS does not mean he planned the coup

homesteady:
do you actually believe what you just wrote?
Even if according to your story that he did not plan it, was he not the major benefactor? If he wasn't in support of what the 'good' coup plotters did, Couldn't he have used his office to right the wrong?

anago900:

best reply for the 1992 dob kid.

egift: @Bold: Buhari was not laundering Abacha's image here and there like Ikimi. After Abacha increased pump-price for fuel, PTDF was formed and entrusted on Buhari (a man of proven integrity), to execute project for the masses. He did it so well that it was at some point regarded as Alternate-Government because they did a lot.

In fact despite the large volume of money in circulation under PDP, they have not been able to reproduce what Buhari did in PTDF - for your info, SURE-P is an imitation of what Buhari was did and still it is not even close.

Ikimi not only connived with the
then military regime to annul the elections,
terminate the democratic process and sell off his
party.

omenka: What's all these rubbish

One gets a mention, opens it and then sees crap like this!!!

The Mods/Admin ought to do something about this asap!!

homesteady:
I've noticed that you never have an opinion on any sensible thread, You always support the opinion of others!
You only have an opinion when it comes to insults!

Obiagelli:
Did Ironsi also plan the 1966 coup ?

anago900:

says the brainless illiterate, my shoelace is more intelligent than every organism in your family tree, you lost soul. if you or any member of your family have read the book 13 years of Nigeria military, you will not have start this thread. that shows your gross stupidity and unveil your idiocy most of us didn't know about before. I only wish admin can admit posters on the strata of their intelligence, I have no iota of doubt, that the only section you will be posting on this forum, is the brainless cursed orphan section.

homesteady:

was he the major benefactor? Yes! he is a coup plotter

homesteady:
like I said earlier, you only have an opinion when it comes to insults!
I know that you are a world champion for insults, so I ain't gonna drag with you!

Obiagelli:
Apparently I shouldn't be having this discussion. Should have taken Omenka's advice

Could it be a defence in the military to say I
wasn’t part of a coup, I was just brought in?
It couldn’t be a defence because at the point
you know that it is a coup, you should do
everything possible to resist it.

anago900:

illiterate let me educate you for free, get 13 years of Nigeria military rule, Google emir of zauza influence on that coup and how and why buhari was made c in c. illiterate like you should only open your ogiri smelly gob, when we need clowns and jesters to give us jokes.

homesteady:

in an interview with Col. Nyiam, he was also of the opinion that buhari wasn’t part of the planners of the coup, but see his answer to this question -

homesteady:
if he wasn't in support of the coup, couldn't he have used his office to right the wrong done by the coup plotters?

jmaine: Nice one OP ,Buhari gained from the coup and was even enjoying himself until he was overthrown, he even felt bad that he was overthrown by IBB . . . LOlz . . . . .
Tinubu is certainly confused . . . . .

Obiagelli:
Where was buhari when the coup took, when did he return to the country?

How could he have resisted it? Should he have gathered troops to lagos all the way from jos?

nigerianvenom:

he didnt planned but accepted to serve?so if a thief steals someone property and hand it over to u,u will gladly accept it.clap for urself.

anago900:

stop spamming my mentions with your stupidity. like obiagelli clearly ask you about ironsi scenario. you need like a lifetime plus reincarnation schooling in Nigeria history and common sense. did you even know what they call the military council back then they are even stronger than most west government.. abeg pack go one side with your dumbness.

nigerianvenom:

IBB did even worst to him.after IBB had overthrew him,he locked him up,thus he didnt attend his mums burial.that is why he is still boiling like hot oil till today against IBB.
D last time he said he can never forgive IBB,for my mind,i said,"EVIL GENIUS(IBB) NO EVEN UR TIME".

homesteady:
like I said earlier, you only have an opinion when it comes to insults!

homesteady:
like I asked earlier
if he wasn't in support of the coup, couldn't he
have used his office to right the wrong done by
the coup plotters?

homesteady:
Mr Man do you think you are the only person who knows about all coups in Nigeria?
I asked you a simple question and you are giving me useless answers!
if he wasn't in support of the coup, couldn't he
have used his office to right the wrong done by
the coup plotters?
